The re-election of Jose Ayu Prado as president of the Supreme Court (CSJ) with votes of two judges Angela Russo and Cecilio Cedalise indicates that everything was a line launched by President Juan Carlos Varela, denounced Magaly Castillo of Alliance Citizens for Justice.
"What many of us feels is that there was a line that came from the Executive, who was the one who assign them. And where all the promises, in anything. I do not know how long, he citizens, have to endure the continued mocking", asked the leader of the civil society.
Castillo said that the worst is that Cedalise had postulate. In what country was living Russo lived Cedalise? they read news?, they saw what happened in this country in the month of December, when there was a campaign, a call for justice or dismiss. Where were they not realized that Mr. Ayu Prado had to declare prevented, because citizen's pressure, but it seems that they lived on another planet, they reached the Supreme Court precisely to vote for a person who has been so questioned, he said.
He added that what has seen since the day he Ayu Prado was re-elected with votes of judges assigned by Varela is a sense of disappointment and even public sectors have remained largely out of the subject of politics.
"The disappointment is very big, there is also a kind of fear of what is coming, because the hope is that these two new judges came with new ideas , ideas of change, and we did not. The vote that they got that day, 4th , in the plenary of the Supreme Court , was a vote for continuity and this really must concern us all.
Besides not understand how they agreed; that's as striking as what happened , not that everyone saw something different , but both voted just like , after two or three hours of being sworn in as President ", Castillo said.
The lawyer went further to indicate that the struggle over the issue of the separation of powers, with the selection system is lost, " it's a waste of time." Castillo also criticized the role played by the National Assembly on the ratification of these new judges.
Planteamientos
- Papel de Asamblea
- A juicio de Castillo, cuando llegaron las denuncias contra los dos nuevos magistrados de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, la Asamblea Nacional debió detener la ratificación hasta que se revisara toda la información.
- Círculo de Gobierno
- Quedó comprobado que ambos magistrados pertenecían al círculo más cercano al presidente Juan Carlos Varela y a su equipo de Gabinete y por ello fueron escogidos, según Magaly Castillo.
- Decisión del presidente
- Decir que escogió en conjunto con sociedad civil, el presidente debe decir con quiénes fue que escogió en conjunto. Él no dijo consultamos, sino escogimos, yo le pregunté ese mismo día con quiénes se había reunido para escoger a estas personas porque hasta ahora la ciudadanía no sabe con quién fue que se reunió.
